i'm the cool parent. or least that's what i tell myself and my kid. i mean, i'm young, hip and all that jazz (too much huh, lol). but the horribly painful truth is,' no matter how cool you think you are, your kids think you're ancient and trying to be the cool parent only makes you more lame in their eyes.
my daughter who is 9, had the audacity to ask me, 'mommy, did they drive wagons when you were my age?' and the killing part of it was that she was so serious! seeing the hurt on my face and being the diplomatic angel that she is, she tried to mend my broken ego by fixing her question and adding 'or was that in granny's time?' me, the cool parent was being accused of being a pioneer, LOL! kids really do say the darnedest things and ask the harshest questions. gotta love 'em!
